The appointments were timed, so not a big crowd or long line. My boyfriend was able to walk right up and get a car. I had purchased additional laps, and he was able to do 3 laps in a Ferrari and 3 in a Lamborghini. He was thrilled.

Getting to drive both a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. Really a thrill.

Once there it worked out great. Very smooth and the folks were very helpful.

The whole experience was a once in a lifetime thrill! The drive it yourself was fun but when I also rode as a passenger with one of the professional drivers that was super cool. He drove the car like it was meant to be driven. Wow

The folks were very efficient and very polite. They went out of their way to make the driving experience a pleasure! There was no pressure for upgrades. I did upgrade on my own volition and was happy about it.

It was hard to find, the track was cheesy, and the cars were dirty and had ugly numbers on them.

Imagine lifestyles did an excellent job. They went above and beyond to provide us with the best experience. We bought the autocross experience for our dads 60th birthday. Sign-in and registration was painless and everything was run on schedule throughout the day. Our dad had a great time and couldn't stop talking about it for days!

The one pretty girl from Pomona.

The course had been altered/shortened because of the venue - evidently the Santa Anita Racetrack had a competing event and needed the parking area. Next the cars were set in AUTO and we could not shift - stupid. All the tenders were on so the cars were dumbed down, might as well have been Hondas. Last the cars were not in very good condition, just like ski rentals, mostly junk.

The people there are fantastic

Too short of a time spent on the track for the amount paid

I bought this for my 14 year old son to do a ride along. He thought it was the best thing ever!! I think the ride along may have been better than driving yourself as the professional drivers really know the cars and the course and could show them off to their full potential.

We had to change our appointment and Alex from Imagine Lifestyles was very helpful and made it very easy to make the change.

I bought 2 vouchers - one for my husband, the other for my son in law. What I really enjoyed was watching them drive the laps and listening to them compare notes after! It was totally worth the money and the drive to San Mateo!

I would like to say that they could do a lot better in the customer service area. They confirmed a reservation at Candlestick Park for us the first time we tried to do it - and they were not even there! Also would not respond to inquiry by email or phone. Had to work through Travelzoo to get it worked out.

Getting behind the wheel was fun.

The ad says "reach up to triple-digit speeds in the car of your choice." The track was too short to reach triple-digit speed even with maximum acceleration.

The Ferrari in general -- such a powerful car!

Make sure to call the location prior to arrival to confirm where exactly you are meant to go--the met life stadium had a LOT going on at the weekend and it took us a while to find the Imagine Lifestyle section in the enormous stadium parking lot

3 laps in a sports car in a parking lot goes REALLY fast. Should've been probably double that for the money. If we were on a full race track like other locations, 3 laps might have had more value.
